Chipukeezy Quits Ebru TV in Solidarity With ‘Unwanted’ Kartelo

Comedian Chipukeezy has decided to take his eponymous talk show off Ebru TV after he was asked to get rid of his popular cohost Kartelo.

Ebru TV reportedly asked Chipukeezy to terminate his contract with Kartelo claiming that the ‘Chipukeezy Show’ had “become ghetto because of many youths on the show”.

In addition to dropping Kartelo, Ebru also wanted Chipukeezy to host politicians and corporate bosses on his show.

“I received an email from Ebru TV asking me to terminate my agreement and Collaboration with Kartelo on my show. They say they are a bit concerned that the show has become a bit Ghetto because of the many Youths (Upcoming Musicians and Comedians) on the show. They requested that we try and change the format a little bit. Maybe interview more politicians and a few Corporate Executives,” Chipukeezy said in a statement on Monday.

According to Chipukeezy, Ebru TV’s demands are the complete opposite of his mission and passion to uplift Kenyan youth.

“For as much as I respect their request or rather decision, I would like to categorically state that I feel my calling and mission could just be the exact opposite. My Passion, Desire and Vision is to LIFT the Youth of this Country. I feel like God has offered me an opportunity to create a platform for these young people who are mostly from the slams(sic) and majorly disadvantaged,” added Chipukeezy.
